I drove over some train tracks and squinted through the sunbeams to read the sign.

Starlight Pond.

There was a lot of writing on the sign that was too small to read from the road.

I slammed on the brakes.

Some guy ran across the road in front of me.

I would have hit him if he hadn't stopped.

He looked all around like he was in a daze, like he didn't even know I was there.

He wandered to the edge of the road.

I opened the door and stepped out into the cold.

Hey, you forgot your shoes somewhere?

I had a sport jacket on, which wasn't enough to keep me warm out here.

The guy, I guessed an older-looking 30-year-old, was standing there looking at me now, a tattered, messy beard.

He wasn't wearing any shoes.

I could see now that he'd been walking on a path which led to the pond, which I could just barely see in the distance.

Hey!

You hear me?

There was all kinds of garbage lying around.

Old bottles, a stained mattress, the remains of a campfire.

There was a little ghost sticking out of the ground, just a few inches high.
